Seat of Government Act 1904

The Seat of Government Act 1904 was an Act of the Parliament of Australia which selected the area around Dalgety, New South Wales as the site of the Federal Capital Territory (now the Australian Capital Territory).

The site turned out to be unacceptable to the Government of New South Wales, due partly to its distance from Sydney and proximity to Victoria. The Act was repealed in 1908 by the Seat of Government Act 1908 which selected Yass-Canberra as the new site for the territory.
